Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Language::translateIfTranslationStrId() must be of the type string

Hi,

when we try to generate labels we get a 500 error:

Can you please tell us, what could be the problem here? We´re using admidio 4.2.4 and the latest version of your plugin.

This argument 1, which is passed to Language::translateIfTranslationStrId(), is actually always Lastname + Firstname, e.g. "Meier Fritz". With you, however, no string is passed for a member, but NULL.

Do you have a member whose last name and first name are empty?

[benhartwich]

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, this could be the problem. Is there any chance to get rid of this error if some of these fields are empty? Perhaps a warning message could be a great information tool.

[rmbinder]

A warning message is not impossible but difficult to resolve because these are Admidio functions.

1. I'm writing a small plugin for my tools collection that detects if certain profile fields are empty. (but I'm currently still busy with a new plugin). A display of empty profile fields could probably also be solved with lists.
2. Take a look at the Admidio plugin statistics. There is a sample statistic called "Profilvollständigkeit".

[benhartwich]

Ok, thanks. I checked firstname und last name and corrected it, but the error still persists. are there any other fields, which could cause this problem?

[rmbinder]

The associated SQL query just reads user_id, lastname and firstname and groups by the first letter of the first name. I'll try to write something to show the values that are read out from you.
